A hat tip to your Mustang on its braking ability, I was very surprised to see it braking at the 200ft mark along with our car, impressive. We might need to ditch our factory cast iron, single piston 10” rotor setup.

First off, Brian it’s nice to finally get your name! When CC first went to the 3L I had the same feelings you did about the $1500 rule. This is the reason we ran the S for 2017 and the beginning of 2018. I finally found a complete car in Craigslist for $3000, bought it, removed engine and transmission and sold the rest for $1500. About a month later a tech at one of the Porsche dealers I work with called me and said he had an S2 he bought for $1000. I bought it from him for $2000. I could now in good conscience use the engine and be within the $1500 limit. It took me a year and a half to find them, so they are out there but definitely not easy to find.

I disagree, the swap calculator works well for most cars. The problem arises when you have an outlier "performance" car which then skews the swap numbers (I.E. S2, M3, Cobra). Champcar needs some way to be able to allow lower versions of a model line to do a swap and not incur the outlier points.
